Now let each person pray for one country at a time until we've prayed for 20 Pacific Region countries. Pray by locating the ruler, the country and mentioning the statistics and prayer. I will begin. "Lord, help the people of _________(name country) and the head ruler ___________(name ruler), that they may be saved. That they would lead quiet and peaceable lives in all Godliness and honesty. (Portfolio of Scriptures, Told to Pray, Page 1, #8)

Notes

Now we will change our attention by reading aloud Psalm 78:5-8 together.

All Together

For He established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which He commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children. That the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children: That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the Works of God, but keep His commandments. And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation; a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not stedfast with God.

Note below two of the prayers that the Apostle Paul prayed for God's people. They've been broken down to small prayers called mini prayers where the slash is replaced with a child's name for whom that you're praying. Now we start an ongoing Ministry of Prayer for the upcoming generation.

Notes

Each will pray one of the mini prayers replacing a child's name that you know.

All Together

I pray that / might be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding.

I pray that / might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God.

I pray that / would be strengthened with all might according to His glorious power, unto all patience and long suffering with joyfulness.

We pray always for /, that our God would count / worthy of this calling, and fulfill all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power.

I pray that the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in /, and / in Him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

This is when you begin your personal prayer list. Start the list by jotting down those for whom you are now praying: for children, grandchildren and young friends and all their families. Take home and keep adding until you have between 50 to100 on your list. We will revisit this in Session 9.
